Currently, there's no control for OL to show the current scale. You'll
have to write your own and use map.getScale() to actually access the
current scale value. To change unit you need to pass options to the
map constructor :

var map = new OpenLayers.Map($('map'), { units: 'm' });

Hope this helps...
